Foot & Ankle Specialists in Milwaukee, WI Can Effectively Treat Bunions

You may have heard some negative things from people when talking about seeking treatment for bunions. Some may have told you that bunion surgery doesn’t work or even makes the pain worse, and this comes from the past experiences of people who may have had bunion surgery performed a long time ago or by a doctor who wasn’t an expert. Fortunately, relief from bunions is within reach with our foot and ankle specialists in Milwaukee, WI.

What Is a Bunion? 
According to our podiatrists at Milwaukee Foot & Ankle Specialists, a bunion is that unsightly prominence at the base of your great toe that can make shoes uncomfortable and sandals an embarrassment. It is not just a bump, it is a structural deformity where the underlying bones are misaligned. Unfortunately, bunions progress as we get older – they never regress by themselves and advertised splints are ineffective at actually correcting the problem.

Who Gets Bunions?
People who get bunions often inherit them from someone in their family. When there is an instability in your foot that allows one muscle to gain an advantage over another, this causes your big toe to drift toward the smaller toes. Because many women’s shoes are narrow and often pointed, this further aggravates the problem.

Surgery or No Surgery?
It depends. Not all bunions are painful and some people can live with them. For others, they can cause physical and psychological pain. So the decision to have surgery depends on many factors, including your own needs and preferences. 

If you don’t mind your bunion, our bunion specialist may recommend resting the foot or feet, wearing shoes with a wider toe box, using over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medicines, regular application of a cold pack to the affected area, stretching exercises, orthotic devices such as a bunion splint. custom insoles, and local injection of cortisone.

If you choose surgery, rest assured that you are in the hands of expert foot surgeons and bunion specialists with extensive experience providing aesthetic and pain-free results. Our foot & ankle specialists will restore your foot’s appearance and function – so you won’t have to live with painful bunions anymore!
